[Question 6] - Tell the meaning of these three parables of Jesus, in your own words.
Jesus paid our debt of sin to God The Father. Greater gratitude should exist for greater # of sins forgiven.
"The word of God" is the Seed.

The Bible is the Rock. Faith based on the Bible is solid and will not collapse. God has forgiven our sines/debts to him, which are much greater than the sins others might commit against us so we should be willing to forgive them too, or God will not forgive us of our sins and we will be forced to go to Hell for our sins.

As we spread the Gospell, we are planting seeds [the Word of God]. Depending on how it is received, it might take root and grow. The Devil does not want this to happen and will try to snach the Word of God away from them BELIEVING in God's word for salvation from sin, by bringing hardships and temptations into their life [seed planted amongst soil & rocks - choking the seed from bringing forth life].

The House - is our temple - our basis for faith. What eventually become principles to our life. The Bible serves as a Christian Foundation to our faith.

Jesus was accused of being Beelzebub, and of casting out his own demons out of people's bodies. [something like Blasphamy]. They were an Evil Generation of people. The Pharasies are only concerned woth how they appear on the outside, and not with what is on the inside of the cup/heart. They were hipercrits.

[Question 9] - What advise does Jesus give about earthly riches from Luke 12? Whereever your treasuresare, that is where your heart will be. A Rich Man has already recieved his reward. A Rich Man shall not enter into the kingdon of God. Earthly Riches are corruptable in God's eyes.
